As corporate citizens, city gas utilities are keen to maintain
contact with customers and contribute to the development of local
communities. Culture classes, cooking lessons and environmental
events are typical examples of their efforts to strengthen local
ties. Community links are also forged by sponsoring charity concerts,
hosting field trips by students and giving lectures at schools.

|
In cooperation with the Information Center for Energy and Environment
Education, the Japan Gas Association conducts seminars and produces
educational materials (supplementary readers and videos) about natural
gas for children. Teachers can use these materials in ﾒComprehensive
Learning Hoursﾓ and similar extra-curricular programs.

| Gas Pavilion
for Expo 2005 Aichi |
| |
|
|
|
During the 2005 World Exposition in Aichi, Japan, known
in short as Expo 2005 Aichi, the Japan Gas Association
participated in the event and made a presentation in
the Gas Pavilion under the concept ﾒFire Magic Theaterﾓ
with the cooperation of city gas utilities around the
country, An estimated 2.47 million visitors toured the
pavilion.
The main show began with flames produced using natural
gas, followed by a magic show that combined special
effects, images, music and live performers, entertaining
and filling spectators with a sense of wonder. While
enjoying this show and other attractions in the pavilion,
visitors became familiar with the soothing power, pleasure,
and mystery that flames can afford, as well as the importance
of energy.

|
The exhibition hall introduced a wide
variety of technologies which use gas energy, such as
the production of methane hydrate, residential fuel
cells, and gas cooling, and information about gas energy
as well. Our exhibition demonstrated the versatility
and possibilities of natural gas, a form of clean energy
that is both human- and Earth-friendly, and which is
expected to prevail globally.
